When I really want to sleep, he doesn’t. when I want him to wake up he doesn’t feel like waking up. when I feel very hungry and really could eat a horse, he either takes too long in a washroom or sometimes spills or break something that occupies me and I forget that I was hungry.
I want to watch my favourite show but end up watching paw patrol. When cleaning and cooking are in my mind, he wants me to play with him with playdough or puzzle or something that he thinks is more important than my household chores and I ended up putting away the cleaning task and somehow manage to cook so we can at least have something to eat. Sometimes when I am rushing to reach somewhere or to drop off or pick up his siblings from school, all of the sudden he wants to have water in his that blue bottle which still has some leftover juice in it or thinks about to carry a unique toy that must be resting in the bottom of the toy box somewhere, leaving without it will cause more stress so I come back, found it first and then go on my way after. sometimes I make my chai and planned to enjoy it sip by sip but he especially wants my cup to dip those almond cookies or sweet puffs aka “baqar Khani” and then chai ends up as a cold brown liquid with swimming crumbs.
Dear Mommy of a toddler! I hear you, We share the same story but believe me this time passes by very quickly. I’ve been there before too and saw my older ones, The moment they hold their teacher’s hand and walk away for their first day of school, game changes…
Yahya just turned 3 and although we all enjoyed each and every moment of him, I am feeling like he has crossed that baby stage very fast. Now he needs something more. He needs friends, he wants activities, he wants to explore the world outside the home. He will be starting a preschool soon and when I think about my situation just a year back, I was sleep deprived & exhausted about his feeding period, I was so stressed out that how will he going to leave it and when will I able to sleep for continuous 6 hours and now I sometimes think, really?was it that bad? lol.
Don’t worry, That neat, stylish and organized girl who after being Mom was lost somewhere in baby clothes, diapers, bottles, puzzles and toys will come back again. These never-ending house chores will be lesser. You will have plenty of time to watch your favourite shows. A time comes when you’ll sip your tea but feel very quite around. Your home will no more messy, Things will be on their places and no one will care to touch them. You will have a lot of ME time to travel and enjoy. What you will not have are these little hands, tiny feet and baby talks. He will not be a toddler again, There will be no baby touches, little tight hugs & kisses and that cute lovely smile so don’t stress out, leave everything behind, rejoice their company & celebrate each and every moment to make memories.💕
